Left side is 80, and right side is 220. I've already shaped enough rocks to fill the AR12 tumbler, and made two cabs. My plan is to make several cabs and have them go through both wheels then run them through 400 in the 4lb vibe followed by the tripoli, and finally the M-5 polish. This way I can make a bunch all at once. I think kinda-sorta like Randy does with his cool pendants.

Holy crap Gil, you went all the way with those wheels! Those are the 2 1/2"x6" wheels aren't they? I take it there was no problem installing them, so now you're set. No more dressing wheels. And they say a diamond is a girl's best friend, humpf!

That's great man! I'm prolly a good six months away from diamond wheels (at the rate I'm saving for them), but it's good to see they'll mount right on these old Highlandasaurs lol.
I like how yours has a single hood covering both wheels! Mine has a hood for each wheel and I had to make one of them myself. Kind of a pain in the rear.
Anyway, enjoy the new set of wheels!!

Five years from now, you will probably still be using these same two diamond wheels and reflect back on the S.I.C. wheels of old and ask yourself, WHAT WAS I THINKIN  ?? Your gonna love em !!!! |

I'd comment on your post but I'm still mad at you for making me look so foolish the other day.
